Data Extensibility
The primary design goal of XIA Configuration is to automate as much of the configuration information as possible. However, some information cannot be obtained programmatically, for example:
XIA Configuration handles this by allowing users to extend any of the configuration types with custom sections and attributes. These are seamlessly integrated into the user interface and PDF exports.
Custom Sections
Create your own sections to store additional data.
Custom Attributes
Define the attributes for the data. These can be constrained, for example by making them mandatory, or with regular expressions.
Or by making them drop down lists.
User Interface
When viewed in the end user interface, the custom section is displayed within the menu tree with its own icon. Each of the custom attributes are displayed within a single form for completion by the user.
Export to PDF
When exported to PDF, the custom sections are displayed individually within the navigation and table of contents.
